Good Morning! On this day in 1980, Ronald Reagan won a decisive victory over President Jimmy Carter, marking a major shift toward conservative policies that would shape the U.S. throughout the 1980s.

Today we're covering the last day of campaigning before Election Day, the speedboat capture of a Hezbollah terrorist, and the resignation of an entire Oklahoma town's police force.

We're sponsored today by GoldCo, offering a free wealth protection guide in today's edition.

Trump, Harris Make Final Push

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris intensified their campaigns in Sun Belt states over the final weekend before the election, aiming to sway undecided voters in key battlegrounds.

Harris emphasized her readiness to offer new leadership as president, while Trump predicted a sweeping victory, including winning the popular vote, during rallies in North Carolina and Virginia.

Trump continues rallying in North Carolina today after stops there each day since Saturday. Harris also visited the state on Saturday.

Both campaigns will be in Pittsburgh today for a final appeal to Pennsylvania, viewed by many as perhaps the most critical swing state.

Tornadoes Rip Through Oklahoma City Area

At least 11 people were injured and hospitalized early Sunday when a swarm of tornadoes hit the Oklahoma City area, damaging homes and toppling power lines.

The National Weather Service estimated that between six and 12 twisters touched down during a four-hour period starting late Saturday night, rating the tornadoes as EF-3 and EF-1.

Tornado warnings were issued, including one that prompted shelter-in-place orders at the University of Oklahoma's Norman campus.

Authorities reported significant damage in communities such as Choctaw and Newcastle, with more severe weather forecast for Sunday afternoon. Watch a video of the aftermath here.

List: Which States Drink the Most

Delaware and New Hampshire lead the country in per capita spirits consumption, with each state averaging over four gallons of liquor per person annually.

That's roughly equivalent to 20 standard 750 ml bottles of spirits per person each year. The average American consumes less than that, about 2.3 gallons of spirits each year, but the per capita total varies by state.

Utah has the state with the lowest per capita consumption at 1.36 gallons, followed by West Virginia at 1.82. See how much your state is drinking here.

Stability. Wealth Protection. Long-Term Financial Growth.

This is what many Americans are searching for when they invest in precious metals like gold and silver. But what's the best way to buy these precious metals? Do you buy an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund), or do you get your hands on the real thing? Here's the thing about ETFs… You don't actually own the gold or silver.

You can't take physical delivery of the metal. Taxes and fees can eat away at your gains. Shares may or may not have sufficient gold or silver backing. But with physical gold or silver, you are the one in the driver's seat. You have the control you're looking for with your hard earned money.
